I have been worrying about finding the right person and I don't want a romantic relationship revolving around "lulz randumb" and nothing else, and it makes me feel bad that people think I deserve a romantic relationship based around solely that. On the friendship level, okay but there is also an attraction element that I want, and someone who I can have a deeper discussion with when it comes to a romantic relationship. There is a whole list of things that set a line between dating and friendship for me and qualities that I look for in a person in a romantic partner that differ from just a friend. I've been worrying about having little dating experience at this point in life.
My feelings exactly. I have absolutely no dating experience so have no idea where to even start, but I also worry about who the right person for me will be. I want to be with someone who I can both lol around with and be serious with, preferably another autistic person since I believe I would have a much harder time relating to an NT. I have one female autistic friend who I've known since middle school and is in a healthy relationship with her bf, who it can get a little awkward talking to at times since I don't want it to seem like I am helping her cheat or whatever (that would NEVER happen, our personalities are not compatible in that way). This difficulty finding my second half makes me stressed every day that I think about it.
